Ban the pornographic Girls Gone Wild from these shores

I look at my lovely 8-year-old daughter and shudder at the prospect of her stumbling upon the ugly side of life. Witnessing a mugging; seeing one of her beloved brothers beaten up by thugs; or seeing the revolting misogyny of Girls Gone Wild.

For those of you who've never caught a glimpse of this US show, the premise is simple: get a pretty and celebrity-seeking girl to bare all (or just the key bits) on camera. The girls are real volunteers, not professional actresses. Usually drunk, often dim, they are perfect victims for an unscrupulous programme-maker. The male-only camera crew (youthful and good-looking) egg on the girls to exhibit themselves. Lesbian kisses preferred, but bare tits and bottoms will do. In exchange, the girls will get a Girls Gone Wild T-shirt and, of course, 15 seconds of televised "fame".

The show preys on women to then publicly demean them. It's revolting and it's coming here. Or at least it will, if we don't back the MPs who are asking the Home Office to ban the production of this show in Britain. Girls Gone Wild is a sign of exhibitionist culture gone mad. Let's keep it from polluting these shores.
